it's not about the age, it's about the advertising, you don't want a "youth revolution" or a "revolution started by gen xyz for freedom and democracy" you want a socialist revolution, you want a anti-colonial revolution. The guys in Burkina Faso were very young, but they labeled themselves as a revolution against colonialism that follows the steps of Thomas Sankara.

yes, we don't want a revolution without no ideology, otherwise, in our neoliberal dominated world, the neolibs will dominate.

A color revolution is like a surgery with no surgeon, there's a sickness in the state and you need an operation, so you just stab the state and leave it open in the street hoping there's someone in the street who can do the rest. The CIA and NGOs in this metaphor are a backstreet "surgeon" who are selling the organs of the state.
